Pros: | Bokeh wide open. | Cons: | M42 lens | | The creamiest bokeh of any lens I've ever owned or seen. Nice sharpness and contrast with superb rendering. When stopped down, the highlight bokeh gets hexagonal which could be distracting.
The birds are fake wood birdes, it's not the bokeh making it look that way.

| | A very interesting lens, well built, sharp enough very smooth bokeh wide open and quite unusual star shaped highlights stopped down.
